Does anyone use an online training log? If so, which one do you use? I am doing a little research to see which one might work for me.

I use mapmyride.com
Primarily because it is free to use the basic service. I find it good for mapping and keeping track of mileage. Sometimes it goes a bit crazy when calculating average speed, etc, but if you have a bike computer that's not such a big deal. You can also add in other workouts, runs, swims, hikes, gym workouts, etc, which is nice.
The biggest downside is that you can only keep track of data for something like 3 months on the free plan and then it's erased. You can pay their yearly membership fee (which I actually don't think is that bad) or remember to screen capture and save it elsewhere (which I don't remember to do) to get around that problem.
A few suggestions (whether you're a triathlete or cyclist only, all are good - and free)
http://www.beginnertriathlete.com
http://www.buckeyeoutdoors.com
http://www.dailymile.com
http://bikejournal.com
There are many more....
Some have a social aspect to them which can be fun and motivational.

Thanks for the suggestions. Bicycling.com also has one, but I want to check out more than one before deciding.
Bikewire.net is my favorite! I used to use bikejournal until they started charging for some of the more advanced features. It's cool because they have a ranking system based on how many miles your ride, your elevation, speed, etc. I always like to see how I compare to the rest of the population! If you join it, friend me. My name on there is: XShiftyMcShiftersonX
